I am running Outlook 2007 on my computer and own a smartphone - Tero700w.
On my desktop I can overlay my personal calendar and the office calendar
that the office e-mails to me, but I can't do that on my smartphone. Is
there a way to overlay them on the desktop and then sync them to the
Tero700w? If not, is there a phone or software upgrade?

that would be a feature of the phone software - check with manufacturer or
at Smartphone application web sites.

I and my colleagues are having the same issue with our Windows Mobile
phones and Outlook 2007. Before, we used an external add on to import
iCal entries into our own personal Outlook calendar. With Outlook 2007
it is possible to display internet calendars next to the Outlook
calendar, which is pretty cool. However, it is only possible to sync
the regular Outlook calendar with the Windows Mobile phone. This means
we would still have to manually copy items from an internet calendar
displayed in Outlook to the regular Outlook calendar, and sync to the
WM phone after that. This makes the inclusion of an internet calendar
in Outlook pretty much useless since it brings a lot of additional
manual work, which obviously is not very transparent. I've missed some
meetings actually...

Is there any possibility to sync an internet calendar from Outlook to
WM? Or do we have to revert to the external add-in?

Thanks,

unless the sync software supports using alternate calendars you'll need to
use the add-in.
